I've known people who drive to the end of their driveway to get the mail.

My mom would do this.
On the bright side, 'twas
a rather steep 1/4 mile or
so.

only a nobody walks in L.A.
People don't even walk from a parking space in LA, that's why they have valet parking everywhere you go there.

Can I ask what is so bad about mentioning autism on a coffee cup?

Nothing, when it's for the purpose of helping autistic people.  Unfortunately, Autism Speaks doesn't speak for autistic people; it speaks for the families of autistic people, so that they can publicly and loudly whine about how awful they are, and what a hell their lives are for being burdened by an autistic person, and how the world would be so much better without autistic people in it.

OK.

Yes, only these people are looking at us (and my kids).
I wasn't quite in the know about these people when they became involved in a consultation on my son's case. One of the upper people at the county level, who we need approval from for additional services at school, is a member and brought another member into our meeting. After hearing what they had to say, though, I was a little pissed that they were even aware of us. I did get a chance to express myself a bit to the school psychologist and our case worker, after they left. I was polite, but I made sure that everyone at our school knew that their involvement with my kids was not welcome.

We are not poor, pitiful parents ...

Thanks, guys, but I have quite a lot of incentive where my kids are concerned. It's like my last shot at doing anything right, if you know what I mean.

Arent we aspies effectively banned from having kids anyway, I assume if we do so there is a big chance of the Social people coming to take them away after deciding we are unsuitable.

They've never had any contact with us- Dunc has an AS DX, as does our eldest child.

Oh right are you NT then? Seriously though, social workers vary up and down the country, it could very well be a total lottery, and the depth of paper on me means i would be reviewed to begin with.
